Java Cafe

While doing a book tour in the area I stayed at a hotel close to this coffee shop and it was so great I went there 3 out of the 4 mornings I was here.

The coffee and breakfasts were great, nice atmosphere great service.

My uncle was with me each time and we were able to sit for hours each morning to plan our days while enjoying their great coffee cup after cup - I really love this place and wish I had a coffee shop life this where I live. I will go back anytime I'm staying in downtown south bend.

I am not from Indiana but come to the area often, and have recently been checking out all local coffee shops.
This one is by far my favorite. The customer service was great and friendly. The atmosphere in the building and the overall theme was awesome. I am a huge connoisseur of coffee and have been to 20+ coffee shops and the coffee alone blew my mind and is very unique flavor wise, even if you get a basic flavor like white chocolate.

Now, this is some next level stuff right here. First the place is so cool. It's modern with a rock and roll vibe. The food is awesome. I'm partial to the eggs Benedict. The BOWL OF SOUL coffee is a must try. I get it every time.

Aesthetic but relaxing atmosphere.

Real food, baked goods, coffee, tea, and cocktails available.

85¢ upcharge for plant-based milks.

This place is really nice. There was one person working at the counter and she was doing an amazing job with people. The drinks we got were excellent. She even created something for my kiddo and he loved it.

They have a liquor license. Which I found interesting for what Google told me was a coffee shop so they have drinks that are more interesting than your regular place.

Thank you!

Honestly I can say I'm as disappointed as my Mom was when my sister told her she was pregnant.

Been here many times, thought it was my new "good vibes place" after today's visit, I have changed my tune. I started off with complimenting the girl with glasses and recently lightened hair, she then proceeded to take my order barely, when I changed my mind as to what type of drink I wanted she rolled her eyes and was huffing under her breath. I went out of my way to be nice and she made me think twice. I am very disappointed in this establishment and will not be recommending this place anymore. Thank you and have a nice day.

I’m a regular for espresso drinks. Good atmosphere and friendly staff. The drip coffee is always too watered down. They must get the ratio wrong. But the espresso is great.

5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ doesn’t do justice to the level of service and quality of coffee and food served! Definitely has that atmosphere that not just invites you in but also welcomes you to hang out, and definitely to visit again! An absolute Awesome addition to South Bend!

What good employees look like.
Went out of their way to be sweet to my toddler, plus they were actually friendly.

Stopped in with a coworker the other day who reccomended this place and it was absolutely great. I'm usually a boring regular coffee guy with cream and sugar but Alvin wasn't having any of that (in the best way) I said surprise me and he made me something so delicious I was blown away. Java cafe needs to protect Alvin at all costs, It has been a long time since I witnessed someone who genuinely enjoys what they do as much as he does. Coffee was *chef's kiss* but the customer service is what will probably bring me back
